NEW YORK PAINTINGS
1972-1977
The subject matter of these works utilizes the diverse anthropomorphic
precipitator devices employed in the industrial regions of Tri-State New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Symbolically titled, with the nomenclature of ancient alchemical vessels, the paintings connote the processes of transmutation of matter into the “Philisopher’s Stone.” The vessels are enshrouded in an atmosphere of chemical fog and metaphysical potential.
